Isaiah 19:3

Proclamation Against Egypt

1 The ^aburden against Egypt.
Behold, the Lord ^brides on a swift cloud,
And will come into Egypt;
^cThe idols of Egypt will¹ totter at His presence,
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.

2 “I will ^aset Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;
I will destroy their counsel,
And they will ^aconsult the idols and the charmers,
The mediums and the sorcerers.

4 And the Egyptians I will give
^aInto the hand of a cruel master,
And a fierce king will rule over them,”
Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.

5 ^aThe waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up.

6 The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks ^aof defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.
